Lucy POV
I stand here watching as the world is falling apart around me. The air is filled with the scent of blood and smoke and the haze from fires that have broken out all over the battlefield is making it hard to see. Through the toxic fog, I think I can see Gray trying to shield Juvia with his body as one of Zeref's minions attacks them with a beam of pure black energy. I cry out as I see Gray fall under the onslaught and collapse on top of the water-mage who looks to be a heavily injured.
Dammit Zeref! I yell in my head as I take off running for Wendy or someone to help the couple, tears flying from my eyes as I sob. Why do you want to destroy us? You loved Mavis and Natsu is your own brother- just DAMMIT!
I trip over a body and almost fall when I see the long white hair the woman has.
No not Mira too! Natsu where are you.
I force myself to keep running and running trying to find someone who can help, someone who can tell me or even remotely understands what the heck is going on and how this escalated to this point. My guildmates are dying, my only family after my mom died and dad shut himself out before asking for forgiveness all those years ago, are dying and I can't do one stupid thing to stop it.
I pause where I am for a moment as I think about what Natsu and I have been looking up the past couple of months.
Maybe the prophecy was right. Maybe I should- no I'm not going to right now, I just have to focus on helping the others and finding where the hell Natsu is. I know him well enough, which I should considering how close we are, he's probably fighting or trying to find the devil who started this.
I get back to looking as I remember the events leading up to this moment and wonder...
How the hell did we get to this point?
